Product Details:

A Grid Coupling Spring is a short section of pipe, typically threaded at both ends, that is used to connect or extend pipes in vertical installations. It is often used in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications to raise or "riser" a pipe to a higher elevation, providing flexibility in managing pipe systems that require vertical positioning or adjustment.

Key Features of a Riser Nipple:

1. Material:

   • Riser nipples are typically made from materials such as steel, galvanized steel, brass, stainless steel, or PVC. The choice of material depends on the application (e.g., water, gas, or other liquids) and the environmental conditions (e.g., corrosion resistance or pressure handling).

2. Design:

   • Riser nipples are typically short, cylindrical pipes with threads at both ends, designed to connect other pipes or components.
   • The length of a riser nipple is generally short, typically ranging from a few inches to a couple of feet, allowing it to extend a vertical line of piping slightly or create a necessary offset in plumbing systems.

3. Function:

   • A riser nipple is used primarily to connect pipes in a vertical direction, extending the pipe run upwards or to make a slight adjustment to the position of pipes.
   • It is often used in water, gas, and steam systems to extend a pipeline in vertical applications, such as leading water to different floors in a building or raising a gas pipeline in industrial settings.

4. Threaded Ends:

   • Riser nipples are usually threaded on both ends, allowing them to screw into matching threaded pipe fittings. This makes installation relatively simple, as no welding or specialized joining techniques are required.
   • The threading ensures a tight and secure connection, reducing the risk of leaks.
